What This Country Needs Is More Unemployed

Often Young Black People Are Looking Towards The Alternative Economies. They Are Looking Towards The Drug Economy.... The Economies That Are Going To That Apparently Will Produce Some Kind Of Material Gain For Them.

Poor People, People Of Color - Especially Are Much More Likely To Be Found In Prison Than In Institutions Of Higher Education.

I Think It’s The Right Moment To Talk About It Because It Is Part Of A Revolutionary Perspective - How Can We Not Only Discover More Compassionate Relations With Human Beings But How Can We Develop Compassionate Relations With The Other Creatures With Whom We Share This Planet And That Would Mean Challenging The Whole Capitalist Industrial Form Of Food Production.

I Think The Importance Of Doing Activist Work Is Precisely Because It Allows You To Give Back And To Consider Yourself Not As A Single Individual Who May Have Achieved Whatever But To Be A Part Of An Ongoing Historical Movement.

We Have To Look At For Example The Increasing Globalization Of Capital, The Whole System Of Transitional Capitalism Now Which Has Had An Impact On Black Populations - That Has For Example Eradicated Large Numbers Of Jobs That Black People Traditionally Have Been Able To Count Upon And Created Communities Where The Tax Base Is Lost Now As A Result Of Corporations Moving To The Third World In Order To Discover Cheap Labor.
